Without fosters, Rhode Home couldn’t function. Help us find homes for our rescues!
I adopted my Ellie from RHR who turned 1 today!! Welcoming a rescue pup into my family has been a wonderful decision. I now foster for Rhode Home Rescue and it has been so fulfilling to help find these beautiful dogs loving families. I have met so many people during this experience with the same goals and each and every one of them is truly amazing. Big hearts, dedicated and caring group. What a wonderful feeling to see that truck pull up with dogs looking for their forever homes and knowing I can be a small part of that. I recommend fostering to everyone and I am always asked the same questions. How do I not get too attached and how do I give them up? Very simple answer. I do get attached but I am their stepping stone on their journey home. I am not giving them up, I am handing them over to their final destination at last. I turn the page but will never forget each and every pup I have loved. This rescue has become part of my family, and the dogs forever in my ❤️.
Poor communication skills - got different information from everyone we were in contact with. Not pleasant AT ALL at the adoption event where we were told the puppy we picked out would be ready for us to take home THAT day. Misinformation about the age of the puppy, and all medical updates were incorrect. Finally told that someone would definitely call on Tuesday to straighten this all out, and one week later, still no call.
Volunteering at RHR really helped me make a difference. By giving these pups a good home, I gain experience for when I am going to be a Veterinary Assistant. The best part at each adoption event is knowing their personalities by studying the behaviors and making to friends. 🙂
What a wonderful experience getting our newest family member. We visited the Always Adopt event to add to our family and we found Buttercup (now Princess Buttercup :)). The rescue workers are warm, caring and helpful -- more than willing to work hard to help find a perfect match between dog and family. We did not bring our dog to the event because we were not sure what to expect. But one of the staff drove all the way out to our house so Moose could meet Buttercup. He was very knowledgeable about dog behavior, was very good about understanding the dogs interaction, and facilitated a great introduction. He also let us know what we could expect during the transition and assured us that Rhode Home Rescue would be there to help in anyway we might need. If you are looking for a new family member I would highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue.
After dealing with 2 other agencies for about 2 months, with no results and a lot of time wasted I applied for a dog at RHR and adopted a wonderful, just what I wanted, little guy the very next. Everyone was so friendly and helpful , a pleasure to deal with. Very informative, answered all my questions I would recommend RHR to anyone wanted to adopt a pet. And the little "goodie" bag they sent home with Lucky was a wonderful additional touch. Thank you so much.
